Couldn't Fool Her.

A middle-aged woman with solemn cast
of eountenance and wearing a plain black
dress, approached Colonel Daniel Scott. Sec
one day this week and said:
'Sir, understand there is going to be
some hoss racing here next week!"
"We expect to have some races, madam. u
$50 I heard. A lot of gawkies are going
to get to the track with two-wheeled sulkies
and fence rail horses and lean over and saw
on the lines and crack the poor beasts with a
short whip and holIer and crowd and try to
get ahead of each other"
ssWhy, why, madam"
'fThen big crowd of bald headed old hypo-
critics and cornstalks dudes will stand around
and bet on the hosses."
"Why, madam, Isuppose there will be some
betting"
''Then there will be lot of old blokes up
on the judges stand too drunk to tell which
hossscomes in ahead"
"N-o, oh, no"
stDon't you mo- me; 1 tell you they will
all be drunk! Then man with a mouth like
a new cellar will stand up and sell pools
on the race, and lie, and cheat and break the
law
''Im sorry, madam, but"
'1 know it's all sol And the race will be
sold by owners, or some miserable driver
will be paid to throw it, and if an honest
man does bet on it he'll get beat out of his
money"
Madam, I'm sorry that you appear to be
so much opposed to horse racing"
"Me opposed to horse racing?"
81 gather so from your remarks"
''No, sir, not much. 1 just understand
it, that's all. What I called for was to see
you couldn't give pointer on which is
going to beat. I've sold heating stove and
winter cloak, and I've got my eye on q
long-legged gray mare, but don't want to
go and put the money on her unless she's
going to get there on the stretch. Pm

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Duke of Marlborough, who has just
arrived in New York, told reporter that he
(the reporter) was making too much money.
This shows how much the Duke knows
about reporters. He might as well accuse
Jay Gould of making too much money.
The prohibition idea is finding favor in
Norway Within few years $50 total alb
stinence societies have been formed with
membership of 73, 900 and the consumption
of spirits has been reduced one-half. Petit
tions in favor of prohibitory legislation are
being extensively signed.
The importation of gold for the past thir-
teen months is estimated at about $40, ,0O0,-
900. Besides this the natural product of
the country is about 30,000,000 for that
period, so that $40, 100000 of gold has been
added to the country's possessions in that
time. And yet the "bears" have been d ding
some great clawing in Wall street.
1t is related that not long ago we'll
known artist sent to lady whom he had
met several times one of his best pictures
handsomely framed as a souvenir gift. The
next day he received note from the lady
thanking him for the picture, but begged to
return the frame, as she made it a rule never
to accept anything valuable as gift from a
gentleman.
The police court at Brockton, Massachu-
setts, has held in 81, 600 for the grand jury
the two union labor men, Mclaughlin and
O'Brien, who were charged with conspiracy
to iniure the business of W. L. Douglas, the
shoe manufacturer. There seems to be no
question as to the facts in the case. The
men acted as piokets about the factory to
persuade non-union men to keep away.
Trade with the South is good in New
York The Interstate commerce act, how
ever, has interfered with shipments overland
and given great impetus to the shipping
trade. One shipper says: LAST year we
should never have thought of laying ship
on the berth for general cargo to south
ern port, but we now have on the fourth ves-
sci this season loading for Galveston with a
general cargo"
The rejection by the Georgia House of
Representatives of the bill framed and re-
ported by its committee on education Tor tne
purpose of consolidating and improving the
common schools of the State was not very
encouraging performance. The vote was 80
to e3 In Georgia, in 1880, out of 1,043, $40
persons OF ten years and upward, 520,416, or
almost exactly one-half, were returned as un-
able to write, and 446, ,6s5 as unable to read.
That great and wealthy State spends only 30
cents year per capita for the schooling OF
its children.
There is a good deal that is cruel in the
cattle business as at present conducted. Last
October there came to Medicine Bow herd
of New Mexican yearlings. They were sold
and turned loose. At the end of the cold
season only 100 survived. Of400 Utah year
lings turned loose last September only go are
now living. At the meeting of the Platte
and Sweetwater rivers is high triangular
table land bounded on the north and on the
southeast by canons twelve or fourteen miles

Mr.. 6. A. Sala, who, it will be remem-
bered, played Bottom in the recent per-
formance of ga Midsummer Nights Dream"
at Mr.. Laboucheres gives in the London
Truth the following account of his share of
the fun:
The Bottom of Bottom was in all respects
a remarkable performance. 1t was unique.
There was another Bottom once, am told,
but he came to grief. The audience seemed

Bottom is to that philosophic weaver a
matter Of profoundest Indifference. Bottom
byplay was perhaps the most suggestive
ever witnessed on any stage; it reminded
one, In about equal proportions, of Edmund
Kean in Sir Giles Overreach, of Charles
Kean in the Corsican Brothers. OF David
Garriek in abel Drugger," of Macklin
in "Shylock," of Dowton in Falstaff, of
Thespis in the celebrated tragedy of "Wait
for the Wagon" of Joey Grimaldi in
''Mother Goose" of John Kemble in "Cor-
iolanus,n and of Mr.. J. L. Toole in ''The
Pigskins." 1t may be said without exag-
geration that Betterton at his best was never
better than in the incidental episode of the
ragged pocket-handerchief. The famous
song, too, beginning, ''The ousel cock SO
black of hue" was given with q brio, a
sostenuto, a staccato, a morbidezza, that
would have made Mr.. Stanley, had he heard it,
take back seat. It was splendid example
of the Sturm und Drang of vocalism; and
only wonder that it did not frighten Titania
into fits. Such a Titaniaa Such an siry,
ethereal Queen of the Faysl How dulcet

sanoe see Mistress Bottom

have liked to see Bottom play the lion. and
to have heard him roar like sucking dove;
at all events he roared like town bull in
his concluding speech. He was bland,
unctuous, eloquent, forcible, touching,
emollient, artistic, genial, grotesque, hilar-
ious, homogeneous, and truly amiable, and
his jests were worth a guinea a box. It
was a performance that children might cry
for, and of which the prestige will descend
to after ages. The pity of it is that this
Bottom will never be seen again; and did
I dream, wonder, when emerged from the
wandering wood near Twickenham, that
seemed to hear spirit-voices mockingly MUIR
muring that 'Egood" was scarcely the epithet
to apply to Bottoms performance, and that,
on the whole, there was no fool like an old
fool?

A gentleman residing in the suburbs of
Albany was recently called to the door by a
ragged urchin who said: "Some boys have
been stealing your pears, mister. I wanted
some, but wouldn't steal, so I thought I
would ask you to give me a few. Struck by
the boys honesty the gentleman gave him a
capful of pears, but directed the gardener to
follow him The man did SO and reported
that the boy ran around the corner, where
he found two of his companions who were
dividing the stolen pears, and adding his own
supply to theirs, exclaimed, "He bit like g

thrilling incident occurred.

to avoid falling alive into the hands of
his enemies in case of accident He
had procured through his servant
IVAN a sacnet. which he wore around
his neck during the time that the dan

others insisted that it was prepare

Cabanis, and the same with which Con-

expedient had arrived One of the
Wallets, whose bed was placed behind
